Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸🇻🇮🇰🇳
How ironic it is that as the waive of deportations and anti-immigrant sentiment grips the country that one of most important figures in American History, a Founder Father of USA, Alexander Hamilton, was born in Nevis and raised in St. Croix. Indeed, he was one of the most influential Founding Fathers in U.S. history.
A Caribbean-born visionary, Hamilton:
⚖️ Was the first Secretary of the Treasury
💵 Created the U.S. financial system
🏦 Founded the first national bank
🖊️ Co-authored the Federalist Papers, defending the U.S. Constitution
“Those who stand for nothing fall for anything.” — Hamilton
From island beginnings to national legacy, Caribbean Americans have always been part of the fight for freedom and greatness.
